rx: Reverse the consumption order of idle queue

Currently, the rx server thread idle queue is used in an LRU manner.
This means that we round robin requests between all of the threads
configured on a given system, which means that we end up thrashing
CPU caches on machines whose workload doesn't require that all of
the configured threads be used.

Change this so that we always use the most recently idle thread. This
isn't as "fair" to all of our waiting threads, but should mean that we
scale better on SMP machines, as a thread that is recently idle is
likely to have been recently scheduled.

Performance numbers to follow ...
